Trump gets things done

Dear Editor: Thanks for publishing the story in the July 15 Okanagan Weekend. The headline, on the travel page, was Afghan robotics team allowed into U.S. after Trump intervenes.

The six members of the all-girl team (apparently of Muslim faith) had their hearts set on competing in the United States.

Travel guidelines had blocked their trip. U.S. President Donald Trump heard of this and took immediate action, resulting in the women being able to travel this coming week. What does this say about my president?

He does not have any issues with the Muslim faith. He respects women He encourages women to excel in what have been maledominated fields.

He will break down barriers when needed on humanitarian grounds.

All the while, my president is delivering, to the best of his ability, on his election promises. I fully support his actions. Yet, the mainstream American media continues to focus on a Russian conspiracy, and some off-hand locker room remarks the president made years ago.

I wonder how much play this story about the all-woman robotics team had in the United States, considering that the mass media has a demonstrated bias to my president? There is a saying in the news industry “if it bleeds, it leads.”

The mainstream media in the United States is more interested
